A genus of extinct prehistoric fish with distinctive saw-like teeth that lived during the Mesozoic Era.
From Greek en- (in) + khodon (cartilage or tooth structure). The genus was named to emphasize the notable dental features of these ancient fish.
Enchodus fossils show teeth arranged in a way that scientists think they used like a saw to slice through prey—nature's original chainsaw, swimming 100 million years ago!
